Prosecutors in the Siegelman case state that his was “part of a
systematic and pervasive corruption” of public office. Far more disturbing
is the evidence of "systematic and pervasive corruption" pointing to the
department of justice in this case. And by the way, who burned down Jill
Simpson's house?

Dana Jill Simpson's House Burned to the
Ground
By Glynn Wilson The Locust Fork Journal
Her house has already been burned down and one of her vehicles has
been run off the road and totaled since she decided to seek justice and
come out against the Bush and Riley political machines in the case of
former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman and deposed HealthSouth founder
Richard Scrushy. While there may be no proof of a connection and there
may be no connection at all, knowing the history of how hard the Bush's
are willing to play in their pursuit of power, it has to make a person just a
tad concerned - under the circumstances.

US Attorney Scandals - Birmingham & Montgomery
By Scott Horton Harper's
There was also essentially unrefuted evidence of serious misconduct by
the jury involving the circulation of improper emails reflecting
predeliberation and contamination of the case with outside manipulation.
For another federal judge, this evidence might well have resulted in a
decision to throw the verdict out. But not the judge sitting in the
Siegelman case. These and other remarkable issues with the Siegelman
case are spread out in an op-ed published yesterday in the Montgomery
Advertiser by Julian McPhillips, a former Scrushy lawyer. I’ve taken some
time to look at them and found that every one of Mr. McPhillips’s
allegations is accurate. Taken together, they convert this case into a
three-alarm fire.
Moreover, let’s compare the allegations against Siegelman with
Abramoff’s funneling of millions in campaign contributions from Native
American tribes in Mississippi into the political coffers of Siegelman’s
opponent—Alabama Governor Bob Riley—going on at just this time. In
exchange, Riley was expected to intervene to shut down the gambling
aspirations of some of his own Alabama constituents. And Riley did just
as he was bade to do. Now that’s corruption. And what did the U.S.
Attorney in Montgomery, who brought the case against Siegelman, do
about that? Well, she seems to have actually been a potential actor in
connection with the corruption, having secured appointment to a
licensing board which would control the question. And her tight links to
Siegelman’s political nemesis, Riley, are uncontested. She is in fact the
wife of one of Karl Rove’s bosom buddies, a leading mover in the
Alabama GOP, William Canary.
Prosecutors handling the Siegelman case sought a thirty-year sentence
for Siegelman, arguing that it was “part of a systematic and pervasive
corruption” of public office. As things stand right now, Siegelman has
been convicted, but the far more potent evidence of systematic and
pervasive corruption points to the conduct of the justice officials handling
this case. It’s about time to start a serious investigation of this whole
prosecution, from the beginning.
